According to Gartner numbers published today, vendors suffered a year-long decline of 1.3 per cent in shipments to 259.4 million units, and in the final quarter, shipments of 68.6 million units were down 4.3 per cent in what is supposed to be the busiest time of the year for sales.

"Just when demand in the PC market started seeing positive results, a shortage of CPUs (central processing units) created supply chain issues", Mikako Kitagawa, senior principal analyst at Gartner, said in a statement.

PC shipments to the US, EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) and Asia-Pacific markets were 14.2 million units, 20.9 million units and 24.2 million units respectively in the fourth quarter of 2018. Demand should push forward into this year if CPU availability improves.

According to Gartner, the PC sales industry was influenced negatively by two trends.

This was due to a strong quarter in the U.S. for Lenovo, whereas HP suffered declines in shipments in most key regions - with Asia being the notable exception.

The top three vendors of PCs - Lenovo, HP, and Dell - increased their share of the global PC market, accounting for 63 percent of PC shipments in Q4 2018, up from 59 percent at the same time a year ago. HP, Apple, and Acer, taking the second, fourth, and fifth spots, respectively, each saw declines.

Lenovo maintained its status as the top OEM in the traditional PC space, and one of only two top 5 companies to post growth in the quarter compared to a year ago. IDC says that both desktop and notebook shipments from the Cupertino company saw year-over-year-year declines in the fourth quarter. Asus shipments sank 10.7 percent to 4.211 million, while its market share declined to 6.1 percent from 6.6 percent.
